What are possible meanings for dreams of back doors?

A back door in a dream can symbolize an area of your life you want to remain hidden or out of public view. A back door is generally unseen from the front of the house. Dreaming about seeing someone you know entering the back door of his or her house can symbolize finding out something about the person that’s private, or seeing a hidden side of the person.

The back door can symbolize a secret, particularly a sexual secret or secret pleasure. Entering the back door is a euphemism for anal sex. It can refer to the anus or taking an alternative route to sexual satisfaction, such as through an illicit affair. See: Anuses, Infidelity

Along this line, a back door can symbolize doing something you want to keep secret, particularly behavior. This use of the symbolism is often accompanied by sneakiness and related feelings such as wariness and shame.

A back door can symbolize vulnerability, especially if the door is unlocked or burglars enter it. The symbolism is derived from the idea of something in the back or behind you being in your blind spot or away from your usual focus. It can symbolize the feeling that you’ve overlooked something.

It’s the door to the past.

“Back door” is used figuratively to mean finding a way around a problem, an alternative solution or route otherwise known as a “workaround.” Dreams create symbolism the same way as figures of speech by making comparisons. So for example, a dream about searching for a back door can symbolize looking for an alternative solution.

It can symbolize seeking an alternative route to get something you want. For example, dating a friend of someone you actually want to date is a backhanded way of getting what you want. Working in photography can be a back door into the modeling industry.

Along this line, you can think of a back door as the unconventional or alternate choice. Going through a door can symbolize making a choice, so combine that idea with what a back door implies.

Going out a back door can symbolize backward movement in your life. See: Backwards

A locked back door can symbolize something about you that you can’t or won’t explore. Or it can mean you think you can get around something or be secretive and find out otherwise.

Just Now While Napping, Dreamed About Waking Up From A Nap And Strange Things Happened.

So I'm actually napping, and I dream I wake up and wander towards the bathroom. The house looks a bit like my real house, only much larger! It's dark for some reason, thick curtains I guess.
I turn on the bathroom light and there's all sorts of kitchen things piled up. Very strange! I notice there are boxes of kitchen stuff piled up in the hallway too.
So I go into my kitchen and there's been all sorts of construction going on. Odd, I don't recall asking for any. Then a fellow walks in through the back door (into the kitchen) says "Hi there" in a casual way and starts working on the exposed electric wires.

It try to talk to him, but the words are hard to make. I'm pretty sure I was talking in my actual sleep, it was a lengthy conversation.
I'm saying: Who are you? Where did you come from? What's going on? And so forth. Because my speech is so weird he thinks I'm mocking his accent and starts getting mad. I explain I just work up and have sleep paralysis for a while. This calms him down, he shows me his business card. "Oxecli Anokiln" is his name, or something. (I think it changed letters once or twice as I tried pronouncing it with my impaired speech, lolz!)

It turns out he was supposed to be at a different house, and he'd been working the whole time I was sleeping :/ He was installing a new light over the sink & window, it looked expensive. He seemed very unhappy and I was wondering if he'd finish the work or not.

Something started leaking, I called for my brother, a few more things happened before I actually work up. :-)

Witches, demonic dogs, syringe full of blue liquid.

I had a dream last night, it was a mix of lucid and nightmare.

In the dream I was dating this girl who was into witchcraft. We were at her house sitting on the couch. Her front door had a glass door along with a regular door and she didn't close the regular door. I saw these scary large dogs with yellow glowing eyes standing in the doorway, looking at me through the glass. Then some people walked up and I somehow knew they were a part of the coven she was in or something. I said to her, "Why did you just leave your door open, now they see us."

We ran over to the door and pushed it shut as they were trying to push back against us.

I noticed the back door was just a glass sliding door. I thought "I hope she locked that one at least".

The people then came around and we crouched down behind the kitchen island.

They immediately walked in. It was 3 bald dudes in a mix of robes and street clothes.

They pulled out these syringes full of glowing blue liquid. I was very scared they were about to hold me down and inject me with them. But they didn't suddenly my fear was gone and I woke up shortly after.

I just had the most fucked up dream last night.

IMPORTANT: In my dream, I was aware that I did not have my glasses on so details were fuzzy but I was still able to make out things. This is the first dream I ever had where I am *aware* that my glasses aren't on and where I see fuzzy.

So I'm in this house I've never been in before and I look around and the place is trashed. Furniture was broken and missing, floors and walls were damaged. This was obviously an abandoned house. The house itself was beautiful other than the fact that it was trashed and abandoned. It was a 5 bedroom house with a modern-luxury interior. It was situated in a suburban area and it had an inground pool and garden at the backyard.

So I walk into the living room with couches scattered around the place and a broken old-school box television sitting in the middle of the room. I then look closely and there seems to be blood everywhere. I kind of look around more closely since I didn't have my glasses on and things were fuzzy and I then realize that there are dead babies and fetuses everywhere - covered in blood. I was barefoot and accidentally walked over a dead fetus and could feel its slimy-ness on my foot. I then walked up the stairs to the second floor and all of the room doors were open. Every room I looked into, had blood and more dead babies/fetuses. There were also bodies of full grown, dead men just laying down on the floor. The rooms were pretty bare except for some old mattresses and blood. I go back downstairs into the kitchen and see that there are double-doors leading to the the backyard. I go into the backyard and there's a giant inground pool full of algae. I was tempted to go swimming but decided to go back Inside the house because I got scared that there were potential killers around. I lock the back door behind me and grab an AR-15 and then I woke up.

The dream felt very post-apocalyptic and I felt like I was one of those "survivors" from those post-apocalyptic shows (I don't watch them.)

I will never get that mental imagine of the dead babies and fetuses out of my head. It was fucked up shit.

IMPORTANT: In my dream, I was aware that I did not have my glasses on so details were fuzzy but I was still able to make out things. This is the first dream I...

Black panther pet?

My girlfriend let a black panther in the house and it chilled for awhile like a pet. She was petting it, it was laying in bed with us chillin. Our dog investigated it and evrything was cool. But after a while i realized its a realized its a black panther and we should definitely not have it in the house. So I tried to put it out the window. It resisted like it didn't want to go outside. I got it shoved out the window only to see my dog got out the backdoor and was with the panther. Also my roomate was outside letting his dog out at the same time. I run to the back door and tell him to get the dogs inside now. We get them inside and i throw some dog food on the porch for the panther cause I felt bad for it I guess. I walked away and got a few feet from the door only to hear scratching and shoving on it. It wasn't shut all the way and started to come open, but I got to it in time ro close it. I walk away again and the door is being pummeled and starting break open. I run to the door and do the dead bolt because it wasn't done the first time but the door still starts to give in. I put my hand on the knob trying to keep it shut and thats when something said "you can't keep me out" The door like "melts" "forms" around my hand and I feel something grab my hand through the door saying "I know you're there". Thats when I woke up. I haven't had a nightmare or even a dream since I can't remember when. Fuck me man. Im interested if this has any meaning to it.

dreaming about 2 people asking me if i wanted to be a boy (+ other stuff)

i'm gonna try to make this quick-

so this was yesterday, (20 sep).

the first dream i don't remember much, but i remember seeing a cross, a crown in the cross, a dragon, and a polar bear. the dragon and polar bear were facing one another? i can't really explain it. i remember it was scandinavian like, and i remember there was some giant story to it.

in my next dream, these two people (one male, other female). the guy came first, then when i shooed him away, a girl came. they were basically saying the same thing, "ohhh wouldn't you rather be a boy?"

then my friend and i went through a back door to try and escape them. we were in some lake, or just some giant water source. we were talking about something, but i say, "oh let me go lock the back door real quick."

i get up to go lock the door, when the guy came out, and this is where it gets a bit weird.

i recall seeing apollo, greek mythology, basically saying "persephone, why won't you marry me?" i got scared so i jumped into the water, and that's where i woke up.

i think i know where the last part came from, i'm currently reading lore olympus, and two characters(?) in lore olympus are apollo + persephone. i was scrolling reddit sometime ago, and someone said that in a soon episode apollo will ask hera if he could marry persephone.

then my latest dream, my friend and i we're going to the larger island of malta on some cruise ship. that's it. that was the whole dream. which is weird that it was malta, because i haven't thought about malta since, what, february? plus today (21 sep) is their independence day, which i forgot about.

the weirdest one out of all of these would probably be the one of the people asking me if i wanted to be a boy.

thanks for reading, i guess?
